And now a fandom meme that has been EVERYWHERE

Pick a character I write, and I will give you the top five ideas/concepts/other I keep in mind while writing that character that I believe are essential to depicting them accurately.

If you don't know a fandom I write, if it's a movie, there's a chance I've thought about writing for it. I've rated 1136 movies on Netflix, with roughly 40 of them being ones I don't want to see. Or hell, say "random original character". I have plenty of those. XD

Grey Waterfall. ALTHOUGH YOU DON'T WRITE HIM, YOU KNOW, I just want to know more about him askdhfkash.

IF that's too hard, uh, random original character.

Ha ha, it's ok. ^^

Gray Waterfall

1. He only says about 20% of what he's thinking at any given time. Part of this is politeness, part of this is respect for Lotus, but it's mostly because he was a bit of a smartass when he was much younger and he got reprimanded for that a lot. So he's just a smartass internally.

2. Though he has several siblings, he never got to spend much time with them. He wanted to, though, which is partly why he thinks of Lotus as a younger brother.

3. He really really wishes Lotus would run with a less trouble-finding crowd. He knows there's enough on the kid's plate as it is.

4. He idolizes his father, who is disappointed that Waterfall is only a mere bodyguard instead of some General or something crazy unreal like that. Despite this he isn't that disappointed in what he does, but kind of proud considering that Lotus isn't a complete idiot like others in the clan.

5. He has utterly no idea how to talk to someone he finds attractive. Thankfully he's usually scenery and doesn't have to deal with that pretty much ever. And if someone were to flirt with him, he'd assume they were either some kind of spy or thief and react accordingly.
